liaison (in phonetics)
Sustain with legato intervals and homophonic repeats. Multiple loops with intervals of less than 3.

sustain
A sustained tone with medium dynamics and emotional pitch.

coda
A very short note with a sharp start. Dynamics are controlled by velocity.

Tenuto (Long)
An extended Tenuto with a more rounded attack and longer decay time. Dynamics are controlled by speed.

Performance Shorts
Includes all three Shorts in multi-jointed method. Shortest notes are triggered by low force; longest notes for High Velocities. Velocities are controlled by CC1.

Sustain (slow)

trill (in phonetics)
Two types of short trill bursts (min2 and maj2)

Performance Short-Sustain
A polyrhythm that triggers breaks at low speeds and maintains sustain at high intensities. The force is controlled by CC1.

dilatation
